Good day, team
The Fedora legal team has discovered a potential licensing problem in the PHPExcel library bundled with phpMyAdmin. If true, and I am not a lawyer but it seems they are correct, that puts phpMyAdmin itself in violation and Fedora would then remove our package until we resolve the licensing problem.
The report is at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=629214 and the Tom there is from the Fedora Legal team, Robert is the (friendly) Fedora phpMyAdmin maintainer who I've also copied on this message (who first came to us on IRC to discuss this problem).
It looks like the problem had been reported to the PHPExcel in February of 2010 but not resolved (http://phpexcel.codeplex.com/Thread/View.aspx?ThreadId=83335).
Robert's also mentioned that they're investigating a similar claim regarding tcpdf; I believe that discussion is at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=548260

Thanks Isaac for relaying this issue to the team.
